Actually, I live really near a rude quilter. She lives in my neighborhood and kind of kick started the quilting bug in me. I showed her a table runner I had just finished making and she said several unkind things. She didn't like the fabrics, she wouldn't have put any of them together and that there was too much color and movement in the table runner. She also helped me pick a truly atrociously choiced fabric for the binding b/c my first choice was too busy. I went with my first choice in the long run b/c it was the correct choice. My DDs both said she makes boring quilts, color-wise, and that I shouldn't listen to her. The recipient loved it, minus the kitty fur, so I was right and she was wrong.
